Oh Brother

Lyrics

I'm not much for making little wishes
 But I'd like a little wish to come true for you
 I'm not talking about loaves and fishes
 But I wish that there was something I could do for you
 Here's a little bit of cheap advice
 To be taken in an hour of need
 Don't assume that the life you left
 Is the life you have to lead
 (Chorus)
 When you come home what you gonna do
 Oh brother, oh brother
 Don't you try to deny
 What you know to be true
 The same mess of misery that you done been through
 Standing in line
 And it's waiting for you
 One kiss leads to another
 Brother when you come back home
 I'd like to know who's knocking on door
 I'd like to know what they come here for
 You'd like to say no
 But the words won't come
 Come in and sit down, seem to roll off your tongue
 You forget to remember, to never die young
 One kiss leads to another
 Brother when you come back home
 Standing in line, all of your friends
 Standing in line, party never ends
 Standing in line, the river flows, the river bends
 Standing in line, all of your friends
 - Chorus -
 And that moon will be
 Shining in the trees
 All night long
 Something bound to happen for sure
 Soon you'll be
 Stopping by talking to a friend again
 Swear you ain't never tasted nothing so pure
 - Chorus -
 When you come home, your friends are dropping by
 When you come home, the moon is gonna shine
 When you come home, I tell you no lie
 When you come home, they're gonna offer you a line
 Standing in line, all of your friends
 Standing in line, party never ends now
 Standing in line, the river flows, the river bends
 Standing in line, all your so called friends
 Standing in line, when you come home
 Standing in line, oh brother, oh brother now
 Standing in line, when you come home
 Standing in line, what you're gonna do now
 Standing in line...
